1. WELCOME
You'll be busy bees when your guests arrive, so with noone to greet them properly, things could get awkward real quick. A top-notch live band can save the day, creating a warm welcoming atmosphere. For the best effect, we like to set up next to the welcome drinks station. #hellyeahyouwantthat 2. PROCESSIONAL The processional (aka walk-in song) sends you down the aisle in utter bliss. Nothing tops live music for heart-fluttering, buzzing excitement. Here, more than anywhere else, you want a personalised song that represents who you are and what you're all about - a 'signature song', your own rockin' personal love anthem. 3. READING / SINGALONG Gone are the days of obliged friends & siblings hiding behind A4 printouts mumbling "Love is patient, love is kind". We can replace boring ceremony readings with well-led group singalongs. They're way more entertaining and manage to make ALL your guests feel involved in your wedding. Win! |
4. VOWS
Our couples have sung, interpretive danced, and spoken worded their vows to the soundtrack of our live music. It's FUN. Vows are totally personal, and well-chosen music will help you make 'em as sentimental, fierce, hilarious, or entertaining as you see fit for your wedding. #youdoyou 5. RECESSIONAL Your epic omg-we're-married-let's-pash / walk out song should be H U G E . We highly recommend an upbeat, energetic song for this celebratory moment. This is another great moment for a signature song. And we can help you find the perfect tunes. 6. CELEBRATION / SIGNING All the rad celebrants we work with recommend doing the registry signing AFTER the ceremony and we are 100% with them. During the ceremony, it's an awkward lull. Your guests don't wanna watch you sign your name. Move your signing to the end of the ceremony and let your guests be entertained with fun, lively tunes. |

The way I walk...You don't have to walk down the aisle with dad. Walk in together with your partner. Or walk in separate and have one entrance song each - like wrestlers! Here's some magic we've created for our couples:
Roller skates, sparklers, confetti bombs, flash mobs, high kicks and fist pumps - nothing is off limits for your wedding. Make it as original as you like! |

Ceremony music inspoOur best advice for selecting your ceremony music? Don't rely on some generic wedding songlist you found on the internet. What works best is picking signature songs that represent who you are as individuals, as a couple, and how you want your wedding day to feel. We help our couples find the absolute best songs for every moment. Here's some examples:
You don't have to stress about picking your ceremony songs. We'll find them for you. Let's have a chat over drinks, leave the research to us, and we'll find you perfectly matched love anthems that'll melt your heart and blow your minds! |
Live songs that suit youOur couples are alternative & retro music lovers who go nuts for artists like Ween, Nick Cave, The Black Keys, Korn, Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers, Yo La Tengo, Slipknot, The Cramps, PJ Harvey, Blondie, Gillian Welch, Nirvana & Chuck Berry. You don't have to pick smooshy love songs - we've had couples request everything from Creedence Clearwater Revivals' doom & gloom Bad Moon Rising to the Ramones punk classic I Wanna Be Sedated. Choosing the most personal and appropriate ceremony songs from your diverse music taste is an art we've perfected over the years (33 yrs of combined wedding music experience, to be exact.) #madskillz #totesolderthanwelook Go with the flowOne guideline that's worth observing - slower songs are better suited to the processional (walk-in) than the recessional (walk-out).
You can have an upbeat song for both, for sure! But if you have a slow song to put somewhere, it'll serve you better at the start than the end. For example:
When you chat with us, we'll help you figure out the best spots for your favourite songs. |

How we work
|
There are no rules to your ceremony - just 124 legal words that your celebrant will make happen. EVERYTHING else can be completely personalised. So let's skip the boring stuff and go for fun! First, you'll send us an enquiry. Then we'll get together for a catchup, perhaps over tea, wine or gin. You'll tell us your love story, and we'll give you creative ideas to make your ceremony completely personal and totally entertaining for your guests. You'll hand over the hard work of song research, and we'll get back to you with an awesome selection. We'll take care of everything from there. All you have to do is turn up at your wedding for the most mind-blowing ceremony you've ever seen, and it's yours! Woohoo! |
